About the artist

I just wanted to say thank you to all those viewing this page. Landscape and travel photography is something that I am very passionate about and I feel extremely blessed to have this chance to share some pics with you. I am definitely most at peace when I’m out photographing nature.So…about me…I’m married to an awesome wife named Cheridy and we have 3 boys that keep us busy. We have been running our photography business since around 2003.

My passion for photography came while I was doing a study abroad in Sydney, Australia. I realized how beautiful the world can be and I had a desire to somehow capture a small portion of that beauty to share with others. While in Australia I had my first true introduction to the Christian church. Since then I have given my life to Christ. Very soon after, I found a church back at home in MI (Kensington Community Church) and then met Cheridy while at a friends house from church. We met in January of 2000 and both knew immediately that this was just the beginning. We got engaged four months later and were married on June 2nd, 2001. Not too long after Cheridy started helping me and encouraging me to continue to pursue photography. After getting married, we had ample opportunity to travel and I wanted to develop my photographic skills for the purpose of fine art travel photography.I was inspired by the likes of David Muench and the late Galen Rowell. I would look at their images and dream of visiting those magical places. My photography started in an attempt to capture awe inspiring images that would make other people want to plan their next vacation. We were blessed with the opportunity to travel and experience the beauty in the world that God has created!

My travel buddies have been either Cheridy, or my friend Ben who was my roommate in college. I’m blessed to have a wife that knows how important this is for me and blessed to have a friend with similar photography interests that I can travel with.
